Kondogbia could be next up

Real Madrid is going to try to put the finishing touches to the Kondogbia transfer deal next week. Isco is already on board and the French midfielder, who is currently representing his country at the Under-20 World Cup, could be the next in line.

The Doyen Group investment fund, which owns fifty per cent of the player's rights at Sevilla, expects to have a meeting with Real Madrid in the next few days. Sevilla's chairman, José María del Nido, has confessed that he already has a ¤9 million offer on the table, three times what he paid to bring Kondogbia to the Sánchez Pizjuán.

Sevilla has already spoken to Real Madrid, but on account of its interest in poaching Morata or Jesé Rodríguez, in the event that the midfielder has to be sold after all. However, Real Madrid would ideally like to keep its two reserve team players so they can play for the first team.

Another option to be considered would be for Real Madrid to sign Kondogbia but for him to stay on loan at Sevilla for another year so as to not interrupt his development. The Frenchman wants to make that big leap forward but as he told MARCA, you have to take things one step at a time and he doesn't want to go to the Bernabéu if he isn't going to play.
